When leaving the job site

Hand sanitizer is available inside each porta-potty on-site—use liberally.

Social distancing: Please maintain a distance from other people of at least 6 feet. If this is not possible, wait until work areas have ample room to perform duties.

Cover coughs and sneezes! They are suspected as one of the highest means of spread. Please use your arm or shoulder to quickly cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Wash hands immediately if you accidentally use your hand to cover. Throw away any used tissue in a trash bin immediately.

Handshakes (and other physical contact): We’re big on the shaking of hands as greeting. However, we will be adopting the “no-touch” approach to a greetings. We suggest you do the same.

Don’t touch your face. Seriously, as much as you possibly can, avoid scratching or rubbing that itch (this is a tough one!).

Don't come to work. If you feel sick or is someone at home is sick, please do not even think about coming to work. Report symptoms to our office and/or project manager.If you suspect any symptoms matching COVID-19, please see your physician immediately. Watch for fever, headache, and coughing. Please continually monitor your health to identify early signs as quickly as possible.

Don't share tools! Please use only tools you have touched. If sharing is needed, clean the handles of tools with a sterilizing wipe before use. Gloves should be worn at all times while on site. The type of glove worn should be appropriate to the task. If gloves are not typically required for the task, then any type of glove is acceptable, including latex gloves.

Stuck in quarantine but have construction selections to make? Let's set up a virtual appointment with our trade partners at Contract Furnishings Mart! They can walk the showroom with you and review some options.

Our Project Development Agreement (or PDA) allows us to help develop your project for construction. There is typically quite a bit of pre-construction homework to do before a remodeling job is ready to begin. The PDA allows us stay on budget & schedule.
